What is a Brainlet

A Brainlet is an internet slang term primarily used as a pejorative on 4chan when referring to those with limited intelligence, implying they have a small brain.

Illustrations of brainlets are often depicted as the character Wojak with an incredibly small head, as opposed to "tfw too intelligent" drawings.
